Provincial police have charged a man in Westport, about 115 km southwest of Ottawa, with a list of offences following a case of “intimate partner violence.”
In a release Saturday, the Leeds County OPP detachment reported officers were called on Nov. 25 to a residence where a male suspect had refused to leave.
Following an investigation, the OPP said the man was charged with assault; three counts of break-and-enter with intent to commit an indictable offence; mischief (destroy or damage property); criminal harassment; and other charges.
The accused was remanded into custody following a bail hearing in Brockville court. Police are not identifying the accused in order to protect the identity of the victim.
Provincial police reminded victims of intimate partner violence that “there are local resources available to help,” and more information is available online at
